Pull me up!

We surround ourselves with a lot of people but How many of them can we truly depend on?


That is a question we must ask ourselves.

There are people who support us, there are those who we support and then there are those who we support but none of them are to be found when we need their support the most.

We call these People friends, family, colleagues, lovers etc. But no matter what you call them, we must ask ourselves how many of them contribute to our growth.

We must ask ourselves, How many of them would pull us up if we fell down.

So, Have You surrounded yourself with people who help Lift You Up or People who Pull You Down?

Acts 3:6–7, NIV "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong."

Do the people you call friends support your growth.

Do the people you believe in also believe in you. At times we support friends, family and loved ones but when we have a dream, a goal or a vision, there aren't many people who believe and support us.

You need to surround yourself with people who pull you up.

When you’re hurting, when you're sad, when fear or doubt creep up on you, in those moments each and everyone of us need a person like Peter who reaches down and is willing to help Lift Us Up.

When you can’t stand up on your own, you don’t need people to feel sorry for you, You need people who look at you and say "No problem, let's do it together, Let's try that again." You need people who wish to see you standing up instead of giving up.

If you want to grow, you need to let go so get away from those negative environments and from people who keep holding you back. Get away from people with a negative attitude and a negative mindset.

Get away from people who tell you that where you are is where you’ll always be. Get away from people who want you to believe in them but when it's your turn they aren't willing to believe in you.

Get away from people who aren't willing to lift you up and from people who like you as you were but aren't willing to embrace the person you want to become.

Life is change, Life is progress and as long as you're alive you need to grow and keep push forward. You have a purpose and the people who help you fulfill it are the ones you need to hold onto.

Have a wonderful day.

Stop Worrying

  “Stop Worrying About The Things You Cannot Control.”   As I write this, I am in debt As I write this, My landlord has asked me to vacate my rental home and I have no means to acquire a house of my own nor a another rental home. As I write this, my father sleeps in another room, he has 3 blocks for his heart. As I write this, my mother who is a diabetic sleeps besides my father and is recovering from an injury to her toe. As I write this I wonder what is to become of me, what is my fate, what is my destiny. An unknown future that is all I see but in truth I know that’s not all that it can be. Stop worrying about things you can’t control and start working and moving towards the things that you can. The story of Joseph amazes me, a young Joseph in prison yet even in there he never stopped using his gift, even in a prison cell facing an unknown future not knowing when the doors to his liberation might open he waited patiently. The story of Daniel is another, ...

The Simple Truth

  There is just one simple truth,  Do not discount or limit God’s Grace, Do not let your doubts and fears rule over your Faith. In moments of weakness, we are made strong, in moments of sorrow we are comforted, in moments of uncertainty we are blessed with courage, in moments of sickness we are shown mercy, in moments of troubles, trials and tribulations we are shaped and molded so that we can find our purpose. A seed of an apple knows it’s an apple seed, it does not ask the soil or the farmer, what kind of seed it is, but when it comes to us, when it comes to people in general our purpose dwells within us but it is only in moments of struggle, that we truly grasp what we are capable of achieving, it is our trials and hardships that shape us and prepare us for our purpose and it is our Faith in God that guide’s our path to Salvation, Liberation and Victory. August 14 th 2021 started off like any other day for me and family, my dad woke up at 6am, my brother was just fi...

On the road.

 "Stop thinking of what was and start thinking of what can be." Many of us are stuck because we've made the past our home, we've made the past our anchor, our point of reference.  We think of starting something new, we get excited, we plan, we are determined, we want to succeed, we begin to dream and hope but as the hours pass, inch by inch doubt creeps in. We begin to spiral into thoughts of yesterday, we begin to think ourselves unworthy based on our many experiences but many of us have been looking back and using our past to hold us back " Change your Perspective " Haven't you learnt so much? Haven't we grown? then why do we fall down the rabbit hole . Your past can be your prison or it can be Your Teacher . Use it to push yourself to excellence. You made the mistake once, you learnt something and now it's time to move forward. You've Grown and the person you were and the person you are have nothing in common with the person you shall one...
